About
Hi.
I grew up in an island country with over 7,000 islands, surrounded by the sea. The ocean was always part of my daily life—I saw it every day, felt the salt in the air, and watched the sun set over the horizon.
Now, I live in Europe. The coastlines here have their own beauty, but they feel different. I miss the scent of the sea, the sound of the waves, and the familiar views of home.
My blog, 日和: Longing for the Sea, comes from this nostalgia. As of this post, I’m turning 32, and I started blogging to put my thoughts into words—things I don’t always get to say out loud. This is a space for me to be honest, to reflect, and to reconnect with parts of myself that sometimes feel distant. It also brings me back to the old days when I had my own little space on the internet, just writing for myself.
